Head and thorax blue-black, thorax with two dorsal orange marks. Forcwings dark indigo- green ; an orange dorsal spot near base, and two near costa before middle ; a spot in disc below middle, two or three larger posterior and some smaller subapieal spots ochrcous-whitish. Hindwings crimson; a black discal spot; an interrupted black crimson-spotted terminal band. England to Lancashire, local; Europe, Asia Minor; 6. Larva black, white-marked, hairs black; dorsal and spiraoular lines yellow, interrupted; head black: on Myosotis, Urtica, I'lantago, etc.; 8-5. 2. CAKADRINIDAE. Ocelli usually distinct. Tongue usually well developed. Labial palpi moderate, moro or less ascending, second joint densely scaled, usually rough, ter- minal rather short, obtuse. Thorax usually densely hairy beneath. Posterior tibiae with all spurs present. Forewings : 7 and 8 out of 9, 10 connected with 9. Hind- wings : 3 and 4 connate or short- stalked, 5 obsolete or imperfect, parallel to 4, 0 and 7 connate or short-stalked or seldom closely approximated only, 8 shortly anas- tomosing with cell near base, thence evenly diverging (in Stilbia anastomosing to middle). A dominant family in temperate regions, especially in the northern hemisphere, the species being very numerous and often occurring in great plenty ; within the tropics, however, their place is largely taken by the l'lusiadae. The structure is in most particulars remarkably uniform, the neu- ra ti( in and palpi being practically identical throughout the family. The markings are usually very similar, and the colouring dull and adapted to conce
